Henry Heffernan?s was the only known child of Thomas Heffernan (1839-1923) and Hannah Clancy. Thomas traveled to Northern Tablelands with Henry?s party, and is buried in Glen Innes cemetery.
Tom is of great interest to us. The are so many family stories, and inconsistent records that we are compiling a spreadsheet on all the Heffernan?s of the Southern Highlands area to sort out families. Tom settled in a small area with other Heffernan families, and we have photo?s of some of these family members in our original photo collection, and a lot of family stories tell us there is a connection and a rift, but we have not yet found a connection, if there is one.

Dear Tikira
How are you going with the Heffernan research. Is there a rift in the family? If so, do you have any info on it. I hope to talk to my dan (Ron Price) about the Heffernans when I get home. On holiday in Darwin at the moment. Thanks ablack
